A performance videoclip of the song “Dr. Doom” from the deathcore band THE ACACIA STRAIN can be viewed at this location. The footage is taken from the band’s long-anticipated debut DVD, The Most Known Unknown, which is scheduled for release on February 16 via Prosthetic Records.
Disc one documents a sold-out show at the Worcester Palladium shot in December 2008, while disc two contains footage of a show at the much smaller and more intimate Waterfront on the band’s home turf of Holyoke, Massachusetts, as well as three music videos (’Smoke Ya Later’, ‘3750′, ‘Angry Mob Justice’), a documentary covering the formative years of the band and a “10 Seconds of Fame” bonus segment, in which select fans were given 10 seconds on camera to do whatever they wanted.

The cover art for The Most Known Unknown is made by Paul Romano and can be viewed here. He also did the work for the cover of THE ACACIA STRAIN’s latest album, Continent, as well as covers for MASTODON, TRIVIUM and many more.

The Christian metallers DEMON HUNTER will release their new album, The World Is A Thorn, on March 9. The band’s fifth album follows the landmark documentary “45 Days”, last year’s “Live In Nashville” collection and a catalog of landmark releases that have made the band one of the most important in the genre.

The World Is A Thorn was produced by the band’s longtime collaborator Aaron Sprinkle (ACCEPTANCE, ANBERLIN, THE ALMOST) and mixed by the famous producer Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM). The first single to come off from the album is “Collapsing”, which is currently being video shooted.
